Create snippets

In addition to supporting basic text, PromptSnippets also supports a more powerful type of snippet called Variable Snippets. You can extract the changing parts of a snippet into a variable, and then you only need to fill in this variable.

Variable Snippets

Use {{xxx}} to define a variable, where xxx is the name of the variable. For example, {{count}} defines a variable snippet named count.

You can fill the variables when use this snippet.

Variables also support default value using the {{name:default}}. For example, {{count:1}} defines a variable snippet named count, and the default value is 1.

💡 Tips: The wrapper symbol of a variable, which are set by default as {{ }}, can be customized in the settings.

Input Mode

There are two ways to fill in variables: Tab / Popup. You can choose the input mode in the settings.

Tab

When you use a snippet, you can press Tab to fill in the variable. Double Tab will select the next variable and fill in the default value.

Popup

When you use a snippet, an input popup box will appear, containing all the variables initialized with their default value. You can fill in the variable in the popup box.
